Estonian Food and Cuisine. This is blog created to promote and introduce Estonain Cookery. Maybe these recepies are not uniq, but these are typical. Food we are eat at home. Do You Know where Estonia is? This is the one of the smallest country in European Union. In Estonia lives only 1 235 000 people, but we have our own language, university and culture. Thanks for challenging history our food is influenced by German, Russian, Swedishâ€¦ Estonian Food is real fusion. And it seems to me, that we have taken the best of everything.
We eat a lot of milk products. We love sour cream (hapukoor), quark (kohupiim) and our children like for breakfast chocolate glazed curd snacks (kohuke).

I have been used in all my posts word “blueberry” in meaning ” wild blueberry”. Now I read Aho blog and found out that right expression is bilberry?

In Estonia we are saying: “Heal lapsel mitu nime” – a good child has many names.
As I live in Estonia, Estonia is one of the greenest countries in the world: about 50% of Estonian territory is covered with forest.
I forage my berries by myself from forest. And use in recipes wild blueberries/ bilberries.
Picking fresh blueberries, your mouth and hands are pink, fresh air and high roaring pines… this is amazing. This is a summer.,

This year is The Blueberry Year.
I believe, that this is the first time I would say thank you for global warming. May and June and July in Estonia were amazing. Very warm, lot of sun. Real summer.
